South Brisbane Football Club

These two clubs apear to be unrelated and that would explain why there is little mention of a South Brisbane Football Club in the years prior. Here is the original text from the "merger" for posterity, this could perhaps be split of into its own article:

South Brisbane Football Club

An early mention of a club in formation known as the "South Brisbane Football Club" to play under Australian Rules appears in The Brisbane Courier on 25 September 1886.^[1] Colours and name were chosen^[2] and a foundation meeting took place at the Palace Hotel. Mr. L. H. Nathan occupied tho chair and John Hardgrave was president.^[3] The club trained at Musgrave Park in West End.^[4] The last mention of this club being active was in 1889, after which in 1894 rugby and soccers club were formed under the same name. Given the 20-year gap it is unlikely that there is continuity between this club and the current day club. There is mention of the Australian Rules club in retrospect in 1897 however.

It is more likely that the South Brisbane Football Club that is part of today's Yeronga club has its origins in 1910. On 21 May 1910, there is a mention of the South Brisbane Football club from A. S. Gerrand club president and treasurer of the Queensland Football League calling for Victorian teams to stage an exhibition match ruing the lack of interest from Victoria in promoting the game where the clubs efforts to re-establish the code where three British football codes were now more popular.^[5]^[6] A photo of a 1910 South Brisbane premiership side wearing the colours of Essendon.^[7] Rulesfan (talk) 03:08, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
